OK, thanks for confirming.

Here is a set where I've included the above change in 0003.

I had some doubts about the following bit in 0001 but I've come to
know through some googling that LLVM handles this alright:

+/*
+ * Emit constant oid.
+ */
+static inline LLVMValueRef
+l_oid_const(Oid i)
+{
+   return LLVMConstInt(LLVMInt32Type(), i, false);
+}
+

The doubt I had was whether the Oid that l_oid_const() takes, which is
an unsigned int, might overflow the integer that LLVM provides through
LLVMConstInt() here. Apparently, LLVM IR always uses the full 32-bit
width to store the integer value, so there's no worry of the overflow
if I'm understanding this correctly.

Patches 0001 and 0002 look ready to me to go in.  Please let me know
if anyone thinks otherwise.
